In a further sign that the Minns Labor Government is losing control of community safety, Sydney has woken to news of yet more shootings overnight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With a man shot in Lalor Park, another seriously injured in Bass Hill, and a linked car fire in Georges Hall, communities across Sydney\u2019s west and south-west are being left anxious as criminal activity grows more brazen and violent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shadow Minister for Police and Counter-terrorism, Anthony Roberts, said law-abiding families deserve better than a government that has been too slow to respond to the worsening law and order situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYet again, Sydney communities have woken to reports of shootings in suburban streets, with violent criminals appearing increasingly emboldened to carry out attacks suburbs,\u201d Mr Roberts said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNSW Police continue to support our communities as best they can. Unfortunately, the Minns Labor Government continues to be reactive, and questions remain about whether police have the resources they need to respond without stretching frontline services even further,\u201d Mr Roberts said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe people of New South Wales, especially families in Western Sydney, deserve to feel safe in their own neighbourhoods.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Opposition will continue to call on the Minns Labor Government to make the further, necessary investments in our police force, to equip them with the resources and capability to crack down on this behaviour and restore safety to our communities.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
